HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY JULY 17 1916 CAMBRIDGE, MASS. N. A. A. C. P. Opens Subscription to $10,000 Anti-Lynching Fund. Two Thousand Already Pledged. Fifty thousand copies of the story of "The Waco Horror" have just been distributed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People through its official organ, the Crisis, and as a result a campaign for an anti-lynching fund of ten thousand dollars has been launched. Immediately upon hearing the details of this American story, anything charged against the Germans in Belgium, Judge Moorfield Storoy, National President of the Association, and former president of the American Bar Association, and Mr. Philip G. Peebody, both of Boston, each offered to contribute $1,000 toward such a fund on condition that the remaining $8,000 be raised by August 1. The N. A. A., C. F. H. sent a special investigator from National headquarters at 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, who communicated gathering evidence in Waco, Texas, where the burning occurred, within forty-eight hours after the lynching. Inasmuch as fifteen thousand people had sanctioned the affair by their presence and dozens of pictures were taken, there was no difficulty in ascertaining the names and addresses of the ring-leaders and the failure of both the judge and sheriff to make the slightest effort to secure their prisoner, the association is bending every effort to secure a distinguished trust lawyer with courage enough to bring the case against the murderers into court. Politics, the investigator found, was at the bottom of the affair. Sam Fleming, the sheriff, is up for reelection at the Democratic primary in July. His opponent, Buchanan, though illiterate, has "three dead niggers to his credit." and is therefore very popular. Unless he is to go back to selling buggies and cultivators for the hardware store. Sam needed a lynching to increase his popularity. The murder of Mrs. Fryer on Monday, May 8, came just at the right time. Jesse Washington, a colored boy of seventeen, confessed to both murder and rape. His frial was set for Monday, May 15. The crowd began gathering from the surrounding country on Sunday. When court opened, 1,500 crowded into the room, inside the rail, about the judge's desk and jury box; and 2,000 more waited in the court-yard. The District Judge of the Criminal Court, R. I. Munroe, elbowed his way to his desk, and the boy was brought from his chambers where he had been secreted since the sheriff brought him from Dallas in the middle of the night. As the jurors were called, the crowd yelled, "We don't need any jury!" but the trial allowed to be hurried. The jury brought in a accused of guilty of murder and accused his punishment as death. The defendant had waived his legal rights, and would have been hanged that same afternoon. There was a pause of a full minute. The court stenographer slipped out with his records. Sheriff Wimming sneaked out, too. Then a big follow in the back of the court myofied. "Get the niggers!" They took him before the court had pronounced judgment without the judge lifting a finger in protest. Down the back stairs they rushed him to the crowd waiting outside. They put the chain in his mouth so that he wouldn't choke too soon, and when those lugging at it broke it, the driver of the Anheuser brewery truck, who led the rabble, wound it around. The wrist rather than the chances that the boy should die too soon. Many had come the way to attend this event and they didn't want it to end in a minute. Everybody was happy; they shouted and sang like a bunch of fans at a ball game, according to a Waco paper. When the boy's clothes had been cut up and distributed as souvenirs there were not enough pieces to go around, so somebody cut off an ear for his hepape. The Whoo Times Herald published the same afternoon mid. "On the way to the some of the burning people on every hand took a hand in showing their feelings in the matter" by stirring the Negro with anything oblivious; some struck him with shrieks, brisks, stains, and others stabbed him and got him when he was strong up his body was a painful color of red. His blood of the money wounds included wounded him from head to foot. bolstosed into the air where everyone would have a full view. A maniculat who works for Goldstein and Mingle, whose windows look out on the square, told the investigator she saw them unsex the lad. As the chain tightened around his neck, this half-dead creature reached up convulsively to grab it, so they cut his fingers off. The Waco Times Herald makes no bones of it. "Fingers, ears, pieces of clothing, toes, and other parts of the Negro's body were cut off by members of the mob that had crowded to the scene as if by magic when the word that the Negro had been taken in charge by the mob was heralded over the city. As the smoke rose to the heavens, the mass of people, numbering in the neighborhood of 10,000, crowding the City Hall lawn and overflowing the square, hanging from the windows or buildings viewing the scene from tops of buildings and trees, set up a shallow that was heard blocks away. Onlookers were hanging from the windows of the City Hall and every building that commanded a slight of the burning, and as the Negro's body commenced a burn, shouts of delight went up from the thousands of throats, and apparently every body demonstrated in some way their satisfaction * * * * The body of young Washington was burned to a crisp and was left for some time smouldering in the romans of the fire. "Women and children who desired to view the scene were allowed to do so, the crowds parting to let them look on," says the newspaper account. One father, when questioned about the propriety of holding his little son on his shoulder where he could get a good view, is reported as saying: "My son can't learn too young At twelve p'clock the crowd-adjourned for lunch as usual; it by a quarter past one some of the boys were back to continue the game. cowboy who had ridden in off the range created a diversion by lassosing the corpse and riding all over town with the remains dangling, at the end of his lariat. When the head bounced off as he galloped through the reservation ghetto where the Negroes and prostitutes are segregated, some little boys set it up on one of the doorsteps and extracted the loose teeth, which are reported to have brought as high as five dollars a piece from those who could afford such rare and permanent souvenirs. The few fragments which held together till night, the undertaker was able to chuck into a very small ash sack. Waco is a center of American culture in Texas, a great Southern college town. It is a Christian city of 40,000 population, boasting nine white and twenty-four colored churches. Yet no responsible voice was raised in protest that bloody Monday, and only one has been since. Those who believe that a cry to Heaven should be raised against this and every lynching, by legal prosecution, by publicity, by co-operation with the best white element of the South, by political agitation, are urged to assist the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to raise $10,000 anti-lynching fund before August 1. Contributions should be sent to Oswald Garrison Villard, Treasurer, at the national headquarters of the organization, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. ROY NASH, Secy.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 15, 1916 "WE MAKE A COMMON CAUSE" HUGHES WIRES TO PRO- GRESSIVE PARTY. Also Sends Letter of Thanks to Roosevelt Praband American- ian Stand. Charles E. Hughes, gratified at the letter of indorsement sent to the Progressive National Committee by Theodore Rösoevelt, despatched a messenger from the Hotel Aforer to Oyster Bay last evening carrying a letter of thanks to the Colonel. "No one is more sensible than I of the lasting indebtedness of the nation and you for the quickening of the national spirit, for the demand for an out and out 100 percent Americanism wrote the Robert F. Kennedy man who had declined the nomination of the Progressives. Another phrase was: "I want you to feel that I wish to have all the aid you are able and willing to give." Ther was a rumor at Hughes headquarters last night that Mr. Hughes had also sent to Col. Roosevelt an invitation to take Junction with him one day in the very near future. Mr. Hughes declined either to affirm or deny this report. It was assumed that if the invitation is accepted the meeting will take place at Tremedden, the candidate's temporary home at Bridgehampton, to which he will return this afternoon. WINS THANKS TO PROGRESSIVES Mr. Hughes also sent last night to O. K. Davis, secretary of the Progressive National Committee, a long telegram in which he thanked the Progressives, for their indorsement and gave expression to the most extended statement of his views which he has made since his nomination. The telegram left no doubt of the fact that the Republican candidate is unqualifiedly for adequate national preparations and that the hypophrenic from the war effort him. It criticised the Wilson Administration in emphatic terms and gave indorsement to some of the measures which the Progressives have advocated no vigorously. With his secretary, Lawrence H. Green, and Public Service Commissioner Travis H. Whitney, Mr. Hughes remained in his suite from 5 o'clock to 9:30 o'clock last night, keeping in close touch with proceedings in the Progressive meeting in Chicago by telephone. He anticipated the committee's action to the extent that he form the final vote was taken in Chicago, and the telegram was sent a few minutes after the receipt of a flash appraising him of the result. PLEA FOR A COMMON CAUSE. The despatch to Mr. Davis follows: "Hotel Anor, New York city, June 26, 1916. "O. K. Davis, secretary Progressive National Committee, Blackstone Hotel, Chicago, Ill." "I welcome the support of Progresives. We make common cause in the interest of national honor, of national security, of national efficiency. We unite in the demand for an undivided and unwavering loyalty to our country, for a whole hearted patriotic devotion overriding all racial differences. We want a revival of the American spirit—a nation restored. We insist upon prompt and adequate provision for the common defence, upon the steadfast maintenance of all the rights of our citizens and upon the integrity of international law. "The most serious difficulties the present Administration has encountered have been due to its own weakness and incertitude. I am profoundly convinced that by prompt and decisive action, which existing conditions manifestly called for, the Luitania tragedy would have been prevented. "We strongly denounce the use of our soil as a base for alien intrigues, for conspiracies and the fomenting of disorders in the interest of any foreign nation, but the responsibility lies at the door of the Administration. The moment notice is admitted responsibility is affirmed. For that sort of thing could not continue if the Administration took proper measures to stop it. That responsibility the Administration cannot evade by condemning others. INDICTMENT OF MEXICAN POLICY "It was officially stated by the Secretary of State in the Mexican note of June 26, 1916, that 'three years the Mexican Republic has been worn with civil strife; the lives of Americans and other aliens have been murdered; vast properties developed by American capital and enterprise have been destroyed or destroyed in war; the United States has been limited to war, and will through military contingents in the United States and to allies, without punishment or without offensive gesture at punishment, the property of Americans, while the lives of aliens of the United States who were tured to remain in Mexican territory or to return there to protect their interests have been taken, and some cases barbarously taken, and the murders have neither been prehended nor been brought to justice. "What an indictment by the Administration of its Mexican policy; and still we are unprepared. That unrepentant murderer, with adulterous perils, and after the experiences of three years, is a demonstration of an unpardonable neglect for which the Administration is responsible. "The Government now has and must have most emphatically the unstinted and patriotic support of every citizen in the existing exigency. But unquestioning, loyal and patriotic support of the Government is one thing; approval of the fatuous course of the government has followed is quite another. I cannot in this message adequately review that course; that I shall do later." RENEWS PLEA FOR PROTECTION "No intelligent man is deceived by the temporary prosperity due to abnormal conditions, and no one can fail to appreciate the gravity of the problems with which we shall be faced when the war ends. We are alive to the imperative necessity of assuring the basis of honest business. I am in deep sympathy with the effort to improve the conditions of labor; to prevent exploitation; to safeguard the future of the nation by protecting our women and children. I believe in workmen's compensation laws; in also conservation of our national resources, so that may be developed and used to the utmost public advantage. But underlying every endeavor to promote social justice is the indispensable condition that there shall be a stable foundation for honorable enterprise. "American industry must have proper protection of labor is to be safeguarded. We must rescue our instrumentalities of interstate and foreign commerce, our transportation facilities, from uncertainty and confusion. We must show that we know how to protect the public without destroying or cripling our productive energies. HAS NOT THE NATIONAL OUTLOOK. "To what agency shall we look for the essential constructive programme on which our security and prosperity must depend? It is vain to expect it from the Democratic party. That party has not the national outlook. Both its traditions and dominating influences are fatal handicaps. I have no sectional word to utter. We are to elect a President of the whole country, not of a part. The South, as well as the North, East and West, will be the gainers from our endeavors. But it is sober truth as I see it that we go on to make the Republican party the instrument of our advance. We want deeds, not words; far reaching national policies. "The Progressives have furnished on responsible, not invisible, government; on efficient administration. I yield to no one in that demand. I am eager to call the best, ability of the country to our aid. For the conduct of the great departments the Executive is directly responsible, and there is no excuse whatever for the toleration of incompetence in order to satisfy partisan obligations. "I am deeply appreciative of your indorsement. I find no difference in platform or in aim which precludes the most hearty co-operation and the most complete unity. It is within the liberalizing spirit you invoke can have the widest and most effective influence. I solicit your earnest effort for the common cause. "CHARLES E. HUGHES." Rev.

EX-CONGRESSMAN MURRAY DELIVERYS GREAT LEATURE Fifth Street Baptist Church was comfortably filled last Monday night with an appreciative audience, which had assembled to hear Co-Expressman Murray on "The Second Emmanation." The Church Choir renamed oxcelestile selections. Among them were Miss Lena Maya and Mrs. Joseph Matthews, Selection, Miss Jane Grinnan, Solo, Mrs. Gertrude Davis. Dr. H. L. Harris, Sr. presided, Dr. T. J. Kink, the pastor, introduced Mr. Murray. The speaker devoted most or also pening remarks break-out out the difference between the physical man and the spiritual man. This latter man was the one he was dealing with specifically. His argument produced in convincing his bearers, was superb. The speaker made that until the Afro-American was dominated by the slave owners, his physical body had to be manacled, but after the spirit had been conquered, the body was loosed from its bonds and the masters had absolute control over the slave. The emancipation of 1866 only freed the physical body of the slaves and that the emancipation of the spirit was yet to be realized. Mr. Murray not only dwelt upon the 'great first cause' of the present condition of the Afro-Americans, but outlined a course of action that would bring about the desired effect. Hanging up black pictures instead of white pictures, using black dolls instead of real dolls, at the shrine of black heroes and literati in instead of white heroes and literati, were among some of the changes recommended by the lecturer that would contribute toward the generating of a new spirit of self-consciousness in the Afro-American. His peroration at the duts was saporb. The speaker's wonderful physique and commanding appearance formed an excellent background as he pictured the heroes of old, who were descendants of Ham, but nevertheless wore fame and honor. He ended with Toussaint L'Ouverture quoting Wendell Blythe's famous ode to the black soldier and statesman. Mr. Murray will be heard in most of our churches on garbled subjects. Y. W. C. A. Vesper services continue to draw appreciative audiences. Mrs. M. E. D. Davis of Third Street A. M. E. Church, and Miss Emily Frances Ames, of Virginia Union university, have been recent speakers at the services. Mrs. Davis, on July 2, spoke on "The Home," and Miss Amen, July 9, on "Some Things Which Money Can't Buy." The membership committee brought the members of twelve new members to the last committee meeting. Three members have been added to the Finance Committee. Twenty-two women were enrolled in the home during the past month. The librarian has been cataloging the books. They are about ready for systematic use. The regular monthly meeting on Monday last had a full attendance. A one-hour session is our plan for every meeting. The Rosebud Missionary Society had crowd of little folks at the lawn party on Monday evening. Tickets are on sale for porch party on the evenings of the 24, 25 and 26. This is the effort of the Finance and the Membership Committees. WEDDING BELLA One of the best known young ladies of this city, in person of Miss M. Alice Johnson, was married to Mr. Oscar H. Whiting, of Philadelphia, at the New Baptist Church, June 22, 1916, at 10:30 A. M. The bridal party entered as follows: Rev. S. M. Garnett and Mr. Lawrence Wilson, Miss Saille B. Reeder, wearing a dress with pearl trimmings and hat to match white elf slippers and gloves, leaning on the arm of the groom. Rev. W. L. Storra followed with the bride, wearing a traveling suit, of light champagne, and gloves to match a very beautiful and becoming white hat and veil. She wore her usual smile. The men all wore full dress suits. After the ceremony the bridal party was driven to the station, where a large crowd, both white and colored, gathered, the couple happiness and prosperity. At this publication they have left New York and are now stopping in Chicago. FUNERAL OF REV. DICK JOHNSON The funeral services of Rev.

New York, June 21—On June 15, 1916, Mrs. Lillian Fields, of 5 West 133d Street, New York City, after a three days' trial secured a verdict for five hundred ($500) dollars in an action brought against her former employer, Mrs. Millie Taub who caused her to be arrested and imprisoned and prosecuted on a charge of stealing $2,175 worth of jewelry and one hundred ($100) dollars in cash. Mrs. Fields was ably represented by Counsel John F. Antitmore of 150 Nassau Street, New York, and the verdict of the jury clearly willicates Mrs. Fields from any charges whatsoever that were brought against her. Mrs. Fields should be congratulated for taking the matter into court, and she owes it to herself and her many friends who have assisted her in establishing her innocence. She is a woman who enjoys an excellent reputation and can boast of many influential and highly respected people as from whom she has received highly respected fellowships in this city, of whom employed Mrs. Fields, appeared in court to testify as character witnesses for Mrs. Fields, one of whom is the sister of a Supreme Court Justice. Mr. Justice Daniel E. Cohalan presided at the trial and acted as a very fair and learned jurist, and after listening to the evidence in the case and the law presented by Counsel Antitmore, Justice Cohalan, at the close of the case and upon the request of counsel Antitmore directed that the jury return a verdict for Mrs. Fields. Note:—Mrs. Lillian Fields is the wife of Mr. S. Fields, formerly of the case and upon the request of her husband, employed in the post office in this city. HOTEL DALE ABRIVALS. HOMESTEAD (PA.) LETTER Mr Editor.—It has been a long time since I had anything to say through your paper. I wish to say that I am still in Homestead, and I have never gotten along better in all of my life. I am buying a home. I have some money and good health, and many good friends, white and colored. God seems to be blessing me for the work done in years gone by. I don't know what it is to want for the comforts of life in these latter years. I have thanked the Lord more than once for sending me to Homestead and to the State of Pennsylvania. It was a blessing in disguise, and like Joseph. I stand ready to help those who sought my life, with no malice toward none. I am pastoring one of the best churches in the Western part of the State, which doesn't allow me to want. My wife weighs about two hundred pounds and is as happy as a woman can be, not to be a millionaire. Come up and see me. I have met many of my old friends from Roanoke. Mike Trishnam dined with me not long ago. I am always glad to see them, but have no desire to return to your State, where men are arrested for standing in the street taking notes of what, they see that the public might know the facts. You had better stay in and look from your window hereafter. I am glad you have friends in Richmond. "Preparedness or not prepared needs, that's the question". I'm pre- pared for I've got the amount, that will count July 17, when Mt. O goes to Buckroe 202 East Clay street can be bought for $6,500. Now let's see who will be the lucky one. EDWARD S.

The Spectacled Roadman's Adventure If you are heamed in on all sides in a patch of land there is only one chance of escape you must stay in the patch and let your enemies search it and not find you. That was good sense, but how on earth was I to escape notice in that tablecloth of a place? I would have buried myself to the neck in mud and ign below water or climbed the tallest tree. But there was not a stick of wood, the bog holes were little puddles, the stream was a slender trickle. There was nothing but short heather and bare hill bunt and the white highway. Then in a tiny bight of road bedding of stones I found the roadman. He had just arrived and was wearily flinging down his hammer. He stared at me with fahy eyes, yawning. "Confoond the day I ever left the hardin' he said as if to the world at large. "There I was my min master. Now, I'm a slave to the government—tethered to the roadside, wit air veen and a back like a snuckle." He took up the hammer, struck a stone, dropped the implement with an oath and put both hands to his ears. "Marry on me! My hold's burstin'!" he cried. He was a wild figure; about my own size, but much bent, with a wock's board on his chin and a pair of big horn spectacles. "I canda dao't," he cried again. "The surveyor maun just report me. I'm for my bed." I asked him what was the trouble, though indeed that was clear enough. "The trouble is that I'm no sob. Last night my dochter, Mertan, was waddit, and they danced dill fowar in the byre. Me and some other chilis set down to the drinkin' and here I am. Peety that I ever look it on the wine when it was red!" I agreed with him about bed. "It's easy speakin'," he moaned. "But I put a postcard yesterday sayin' that the new road surveyor would be round the day. He'll come, and he'll no find me, or else he'll find me fun, and either way I'm a done man. I'll awa back to my bed and say I'm no weal, but I doot that!' no help me, for they ken my kind 'o no welness." Then I had an inspiration. "Does the new surveyor know you?' I asked. "No him. He's just been a week at the job. He hrs about in a wee motorcar and wad spelr the insake oot 'o a whisk." "Where's your house?' I asked, and was directed by a wavering finger to the cottage by the stream. "Well, back to your bod.' I said, "and sleep in peace. I'll take on your job for a bit and see the surveyor." He stared at me blankly; then, as the notion dawned on his fuddled brain, his face broke into the vacant drunkard's smile. "You're the billy!" be cried. "I'll be easy enough managed. I've finished that bing o' stance, so you needen cach say m'i this foremon. Just take the barry and wheel enough metal free you quarry doo the road to make another bing the morm. "My name's Alexander Trummle, and I've been seven year at the trade and twenty afore that berlin on Lesthen water. My Wendens ca' me Rocky and whites Specky, for I wear glasses, but weak 'l' the sight. Just you speak the surveyor fair and cai him sir, and he'll be烈 pleased. I be bored or middle. My sheer spectacles and fifty old hair, shipped off cool, whistle, and earl and gave him them to carry home; borrowed, too, the foal stump of a clay house as an extra property. He informed my simple task and without more who else off at an ankle bedroom. Bad may have been his chief object, but I think there was also something left in the foot of a bottle. I gurgled that he might be safe under cover. Before my friends arrived on the scene. Then I am to work to dress for the show. CHAPTER VIL I Took Up the Barrow and Began My Journeys to and From the Quarry. Work. I got my boots and trouser legs all white from the dust of the road and hitched up my trousers, tying them with string below the knot. Then I set to work on my face. With a handful of dust I made a watermark round my neck—the place where Mr. Trammell's Sunday ablutions might be expected to stop. I rubbed a good deal of dirt also into the skin of my cheeks. A roadman's eyes would no doubt be a little infused, so I contrived to get some cream in both of mine, and by dine of vegetarian rubbing produced a bleary effect. The sandwiches Sir Bunny had given me had gone off with my cook but the roadman's lunch, but in a bad handkerchief, was at my diagonal. I ate with great ruthless amounts of the thick slabs of some chrome and frank a little of the cold cream. In the handkerchief was a local paper tied with string and adhered to Mr. Turbell—obviously meant to soothe his midday bursure. I did up the bumble again and put the cream admirably beside it. My boots did not sette me but by dint of kicking among the stone I reduced them to the granite-fine surface which characterizes a roadman's foot gear. Then I bit and scraped my finger nails till the edges were old cracked and uneven. The men I was matched against would miss no detail. I broke one of the boots and rotted it in a clummer knot and tossed the A I confronted Three Pairs of Eyes That Missed Nothing. other so that my thick gray socks bulged over the uppers. Still no sign of anything on the road. The motor I had observed half an hour ago must have gone home. My toilet complete. I roll up the barrow and began my journey to and from the quarry, a hundred yards off. I remember an old scout in Rhodesia who had done many queer things in his day; once telling me that the secret of playing a part was to think yourself into it. You could never keep it up, he said, unless you could manage to convince yourself that you were it. So I must off all other thoughts and swiftened then on the road mending. I thought of the little white cottage as my home. I recalled the years I had spent having on Lichen Water. I made my mind dwelling on sleep in a box bed and a bottle of chapain whisky. Still nothing appeared on that white road. Now and then a sleep wandered of the heather to stare at me. A barn stepped down to a pool in the stream and started to fish, taking no more notice of me than if I had been a milestone. On I went tramping my loads of stone with the heavy step of the prostrate. Soon I grew warm, and the dust on my feet changed into sand and a bobbing gait. I was already crowding the house all evening should put a lamb to Mr. Turabelli's museum hall. Suddenly a cute voice pops from the roof, tail, looking up. I saw a Nike the two sent me and a round woolly yarn in a bowler hat. "Are you Alexander Turabelli?" he asked. "I am the new county road program. You go at Blankenship." THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Will have charge of the section from Laddahwyre to the Bigga? Good! A fair bit of road, Turnbull, and not badly engineered. A little soft about a mile off, and the edge want cleaning. See you look after that. Good morning. You'll know me the next time you see me. Clearly my getup was good enough for the dreaded surveyor. I went on with my work, and as the morning grew, toward noon I was cheered by a little traffic. A baker's van breasted the hill and sold me a bag of ginger biscuits, which I stowed in my trousers pockets against emergencies. Then a herd passed with me and disturbed me somewhat by asking loudly, "What has become o' Spocky?" "In bed wil the colic," I repiled, and the herd passed on. Just about midday a big car stole down the hill, glided past and drew up a hundred yards beyond. Its three occupants descended, as if to stretch their legs, and sauntered toward me. Two of the men I had seen before from the window of the Galloway inn, one lean, sharp, dark; the other comfortable and smiling. The third had the look of a countryman, a vet, perhaps, or a small farmer. He was dressed in all cut knickerbockers, and the aye in his head was as bright and wary as a hen's. "Morning," said the last. "That's a fine, easy job yours." I had not looked up on their approach, and now when accustomed to loud and painfully straightened my back, after the manner of roadmen, spat viciously, after the manner of the low Scot, and regarded them steadily before replying. I confronted three pairs of eyes that missed nothing. Here's wear job, and there's better." I added: "I 'wad rather have yours, sitttin' a day on your hinderlands on those cushions. It's you and your muscle cawns that wreck my roads. If we a' had our rights you and be made to mend what yo break." The bright eyed man was looking at the newspaper lying beside Turubelli's bundle. "I see you get your papers in good time," he said. "I glanced at it usually. "Aya in good time. Neem! that that paper came out last betterday. I'm just four days late." He picked it up, glanced at the superscript and laid it down again. One of the others had been looking at my boots, and a word in German called the speaker's attention to them. "You've a fine taste in boots," he said. "Those were never made by a country shooter." "They were not," I said readily. "They were made in London. I got them fine the gentleman that was here last year for the shootin'. What was his name now? And I scratched a forgetful head. Again the sleek one spoke in German. "Let us get on," he said. "This yellow is all right." They asked one last question: They made me ask question. "Did you see any one pass early this morning? He might be on a bicycle or he might be on foot." I very nearly fell into the trap and told a story of a bicyclist hurrying past in the gray dawn. But I had the sense to see my danger. I pretended to consider very deeply. "I wanna up very early," I said. "Ye see my dochter was merritt last night and we keep it up late. I opened the house door about sooen—and there was meabody on the road then. Since I cam up here has been just the baker and the Ritchill herd, bedded you gentlemen." One of them gave me a cigar, which I smelled gingerly and stuck in Tumblull's bundle. They got into their car and were out of sight in three minutes. My heart leaped with an enormous relief, but I went on wheeling my stones. It was in well—ten minutes later the car returned—one of the occupants waving a hand to me. These gentry left nothing to chance. I finished Tumblull's bread and cheese, and pretty soon I had finished the stools. The next step was what puzzled me. I could not keep up this road making business for long. A merciful Providence had kept Mr. Turnbull indoors, but if he appeared on the scene there would be trouble. I had a notion that the coedon was still tight round the glen and that if I walked in any direction I should meet with questioners. But get out I must. No man's nerve could stand more than a day of being spied on. I stayed at my post till about 5 o'clock. By that time I had resolved to down to Turnbull's cottage at nightfall and take my chance of getting over the hills in the darkness. But suddenly a new car came up the road and slowed down to stop a short distance from me. A fresh wind had risen, and the occupant wanted to light a cigarette. It was a touring car with the tonneau full of an assortment of brags. One man sat in it, and an amazing chance I knew him. His name was Launcelot Brown, and he was an offence to creation. He was a sort of blood stockbroker who did his bostops by tending to eldest sons and rich young peers and foolish old indians. "Lancet" was a familiar figure. I understood, at halls and polo weeks and country homes. He was an adult snakemonger and would crawl a mile on his belly to anything that had a title or a million. I had a business introduction to his firm when I came to London, and he was good enough to ask me to dinner at his house. He showed me of it a great race and pictured above his duckhouses till the memory of the creature turned me sick. I asked a man afterward why nobody hated him and was told that laughhouses governed the weather. Anyhow, there he was now, neatly dressed, in a fine new coat, obviously his way to visit some of his friends. A bishop dwarfs took me, and in a second I had jumped into the temple and had him by the shoulder. "Mike, Brown?" I sang back. "We'll meet you next." He got a bored fright. His chin dropped as he beared at me, "Who the devil are you?" he grasped. "My name is Hannay," I said; "from Rhodesia, you remember." "Good God—the murderer!" he choked. "Just so. And there'll be a second murder, my dear, if you don't do as I bid you. Give me that coat of yours. That cap too." He did as he was bid, for he was blind with terror. Over my dirty trousers and vulgar shirt I put on his smart driving coat, which buttressed high at the top and thereby hid the deficiencies of my collar. I stuck the cap on my head and added his gloves to my setup. The dusty roadman in a minute was transformed into one of the nearest motorists in Scotland. On Mr. Lunceatch Itowns' head I clapped Tumblull's unspeakable hat and told him to keep it there. Then with some difficulty I turned the car. My plan was to go back the road he had come, for the watchers, having seen it before, would let it pass unremarked. "Now, my child," I said, "it quite still and be a good boy. I mean you no harm. I'm only borrowing your car for an hour or two. But if you play me any tricks, and, above all, if you open your mouth, as sure as there is a God above me I'll wiring your neck! Saved?" I enjoyed that evening's ride. We ran eight miles down the valley, through a village or two, and I could not help noticing several strange looking folk lounging by the roadside. These were the watchers who would have had much to say to me if I had come in other garb or company. As it was, they looked incuriously on. One touched his cap in salute, and I rebounded graciously. As the dark fell I turned up a aisle glen which, as I remembered from the map, led into an unfrequented corner of the hills. Soon the villages were left behind, then the farms and then even the wavy cottages. Presently we came to a lonely moon, where the night was blackening the sunset gleam in the log pools. Here we stopped, and I obliquely reversed the car and restored to Mr. Launcelot Brown his belongings. "A thousand thanks," I said. "Therea more use in you than I thought. Now, be off and find the poles." As I sat on the hillside watching the tall light dwindle I reflected on the various kinds of crime I had now sampled. Contrary to general belief, I was not a murderer, but I had become an unholy lass, a shameless impostor and a highwayman with a marked taste for expensive motorcars. CHAPTER VIII. The Bald Archontologist's Adventure SPENT the night on a shelf of the hillside in the lee, of a bowler where the heather grew long and soft. It was a cold business, for I had neither coat nor waistcoat. Those were in Mr. Turunbil's keeping as was Bendder's little book, my watch and, worst of all, my pipe and tobacco pooch. Only my money accompanied me in my belt and about half a pound of ginger biscuits in my trouser pocket. I slipped off half those biscuits and by worming myself deep into the beather got some kind of warmth. My spirits had risen, and I was beguiled by the sight of ginger biscuits of bite and seek. So far I had been mire- churious lucky. The milkman, the literary inkeeper, Sir Harry, the roadman and the idiotic Lancie were all pieces of undeserved good fortune. Somehow the first success gave me a feeling that I was going to pull the thing throne. My chief trouble was that P was desperately hungry. I lay and tortured myself—for the ginger biscuits merely emphasized the aching void—with the memory of all the good food I had thought so little of in London. There were Paddock's crisp sausages and fragrant shavings of bacon and shapely poached eggs—how often I had turned up my nose at them. There were the cider they did at the club, and a particular ham that stood on the cold table, for which my soul hated. My thoughts hovered over all varieties of mortal edibles, and finally settled on a porterhouse teak wood table to eat the rabbit to follow. In lining hopelessly for these dainties I fell asleep. I woke very cold and stiff about an hour after dawn. It took me a little while to remember where I was, for I had been very weary and had slept heavily. I saw the pale blue sky through a net There Were Men Below, Not Men Then a Gaurter of a Mile Off, of hander, then a big shoulder of hill, and then my own boots placed neatly in a blackberry bush. I should impress on my crew and landed from into the valley, and then my boat took me and landing my boat in the hills. But there were more hills, and made them a quarter of a mile wide, and landed on the hillside. Like a fox, and hunting, the hunter. Lestrade had not been slow to learning, for the newmen. I musted out of my shell to have an escape of a bawdish trench. It glued a yellow trench, which closed up the mountain face. This led me presently hape the narrow gully of a burn, by way of which I scrambled to the top of the ridge. From there I looked back and anw that I was still undiscovered. My pursuers were patiently quartering the hillside and moving upward. Keeping behind the skyline, I ran for maybe half a mile till I judged I was above the perimeter end of the glon. Then I showed myself and was instantly noted by one of the tankers, who passed the word to the others. I heard cries coming up from below and saw that the line of search had been blocked. I pretended to retreat over the skyline, but instead went back the way I had come, and in twenty minutes was behind the ridge overlooking my sleeping place. From that viewpoint I had the satisfaction of seeing the pursuit streaming up the bill at the top of the glon on a hopelessly false scent. I had before me a choice of routes, and I chose a ridge which made an angle with the one I was on and so would soon put a deep gap between me and my enemies. The exercise had warmed my blood, and I was beginning to enjoy myself amazingly. As I went I breakfasted on the dusty remnants of the ginger baculis. I knew very little about the country, and I hadn't a notion what I was going to do. I trusted to the strength of my legs, but I knew well enough that those behind me would be familiar with the lie of the land and, that my ignorance would be a heavy handicap. I saw in front of me a sea of hills, rising very high toward the south, but northward breaking down into broad ridge which separated wide and shallow dales. The ridge I had chosen seemed to sink after a mile or two to a moor which lay like a pocket in the uplands. That seemed as good a direction to take as any other. My strategy had given me a final start-call it twenty minutes and I had the width of a glove behind me before I saw the first heads of the pursuers. The police had evidently called in local talent to their aid, and the man I could see had the appearance of birds or gamekeepers. They hallooed at the sight of me and I waved my hand. Two dived into the glen and began to climb my ridge while the others kept their own side of the hill. I felt as if I were taking part in a schoolboy game of hide and bounds. But very soon it began to seem less of a game. Those fellows behind were befely men on their native back. Looking back I saw that only three were following direct, and I guessed that the others had fetched a circuit to cut me off. My lack of local knowledge might very well be my undoing, and I resolved to get out of this tangle of glons to the pocket of moor I had seen from the tops. I must no increase my distance as to get clear away from them, and I believed I could do this if I could find the right ground for it. If there had been cover I would have tried a bit of stalking, but on those bare shores you could see a fly a mile off. My hope must be in the length of my legs and the soundness of my wind, but I needed earth ground for that, for I was not bred a mountainer. How I lingered for a good Africaner pony? I put on a great spurt and got off my ridge and down into the moor before any figures appeared on the sky line behind me. I crossed a burn and came out on a highroad which made a pass between two glens. All in front of me was a big field of heather sloping up to a crest which was crowned with an odd feather of trees. In the dike by the roadside was a gate, from which a grass grown track led over the first wave of the moor. I jumped the dike and followed it, and after a few hundred yards—as soon as it was out of sight of the highway—the grass stopped and it became a very respectable road, which was evidently kept with some care. Clearly it ran to a house, and I began to think of doing the same. Hitherto my luck had held, and it might be that my best chance would be found in this remote dwelling. Anyhow, there was a fence, and I did not follow the road, but the burnside which flicked it on the right, where the breaken grass deep and the high banks made a tolerable screen. It was well I did so, for no sooner had I gained the hollow then, looking back, I saw the pursuit topping the ridge from which I had descended. After that I did not look back. I had no time. I ran up the burnish, crawling over the open pipes and frown large part wading in the shallow stream. I found a deserted oasis with a row of fantom peat stands and an over-grown garden. Then I was among young hay and very soon had come to the edge of a plantation of windmill fire. From there I saw the chimneys of the house smoke a few hundred yards to ray left. I forsook the burnish, crossel another dike and almost before I knew was on a rough lawn. A glance back told me that I was well out of sight of the pursuit, which had not yet passed the first lift of the moor. The lawn was a very rough place, cut with a scraine the aftereat of a mower, and planted with beds of scrubby rhodendronia. A brace of black game, which are not usually garden birds, rubs at my approach. The house before me was the ordinary moorland hed, with a more prestigious white-washed wing added. Attached to this wing was a glass veneer, and through the glass I saw the face of an elderly gentleman weekly watching me. I stalked over the border of coarse hill gravel and entered the open veneer door. Within it a pleasant room, glimpsed on one side and on the other a mass of books. More books allowed in an inn room. On the floor, instead of tables, stood cases such as you see in a museum, piled with coins and quew store implements. There was a knobbed door in the mid-19th and secured gr I, with some papers and open volumes before, him was the benevolent old gentleman. His face was round and shiny, like Mr. Pickwick's, big glasses stuck on, the end of his nose, and the top of his head was as bright and bare as a glass bottle. He never moved when I entered, but raised his gladiolus and waited on me to speak. It was not an easy job, with about five minutes to spare, to tell a stranger who I was and what I wanted and to win his aid. I did not attempt it. There was something about the eye of the man before me—something so keen and knowledgeable—that I could not find a word. I simply stared at him and stolidized. "You seem in a hurry, my friend," he said slowly. I nodded toward the glass. It gave a prospect across the moor through a gap in the plantation and revealed certain figures half a mile off straggling through the heather. "Ah, I see," he said and took up a pair of fieldglasses, through which he patiently scrutinized the figures. "A negative from justice, eh? Well, we'll go into the matter at our leisure. Mountaint I object to my privacy being broken in upon by the clumsy rural preacher. Go into my study and you will see two doors facing you. Take the one on the left and close it behind you. You will be perfectly safe. Don't leap and I send for you." And this extraordinary man took up his pen again. I did me I was bid and found myself in a little dark chamber which smelled of chemicals and was lit only by a tiny window high up in the wall. The door had swing behind me with a clink like the door of a safe. Once again I had found an unexpected sanctuary, although I could not tell for how long. All the same, I was not comfortable. There was something about the old gentleman which puzzled and rather terrified me. He had been too easy and really, almost as if he had expected me, and his eyes had been horribly intelligent. No sound came to me in that dark place. For all I knew the police might be searching the house, and if they did they would want to know what was behind this door. I tried to possess my soul in patience and to forget how hungry I was. Then I took a more cheerful view. But I was fearful that I was abut to undergo some unusual experiences. The old gentleman could scarcely refuse me a meal, and I fell to reconstructing my breakfast. Bacon and eggs would content me, but I wanted the better part of a litch of bacon and half a hundred eggs. And then while my mouth was watering in an anticipation, there was a click, and the door stool open. It was an invitation to leave the road. I emerged into the sunlight to find the master of the house sitting in a dower armchair in the room he called his house and regarding me with curious eyes. "Have they gone?" I asked. "They have gone. I conceived them that you had crossed the hill. I do not choose that the police should come be tween me and one whom I am delighted to honor. This is a lucky morning for you. Richard Hanney. You see that your discipline is not complete." As he spoke his eyelids seemed to tremble and to fall a little over his keen gray eyes. In a flash the phrase of Sandler's game back to me when he had described the man he most dreaded in the world. He had said that he could hold his eyes like a hawk." Then I saw that I had walked straight into the enemy's headquarters. My first impulse was to thrill the old ruffian and make for the open air. He seemed to anticipate my intention for he smiled gently and nodded to the door behind me. I turned and saw two men creators who had me covered with photos. He knew my name, but he had new eyes. And as the reflection darted across my mind I saw a slender chance. I determined to brazen it out to the end. "I don't know what you mean," I said roughly. "And who are you calling Richard Hanny? My name's Anselle." "So! he said, still smiling. "But of course, you have others. We won't quarrel about a name." I was pulling myself together now, and I collected that my garb, lacking coat and waistcoat and collar, would, at any rates, not betray me. I put on my sunniest face and shrugged my shoulders. "I suppose you're going to give me up after all, and I call it a dirty trick. I wish I had never seen that cursed motorcar. Here's the money, and be — to you!" And I firing 4 oversigns on the table. He opened his eyes a little. "Oh, no. I shall not give you up!" My friends and I will have a little private settlement with you; that is all. You know a little too much, Mr. Hannay. You are a clever actor, but not quite clever enough." He spoke with assurance, but I could see the dawning of some doubt in his mind. "For God's sake stop jawing!" I cried. "Everything's against me. I haven't had a bit of luck since I came on shore at Leith. What's the harm in a poor devil with an empty stomach picking up some money he finds in a bust up motorcar? That's all I done, and for that I've been chivalled for two days by those blasted bobbles over those blasted hills. I tell you, I'm fair sick of you. You can do what you like old boy! Ned Ainfield's got no fight left in him. I could see that the doubt was gaining. "Will you oblige me with the story of your recent doings?" he asked. of your recent doings?" he asked, "I can't, gon't hurry." I said in a real beggar's witte. "I've not had a bite to eat for two days. Give me a mouthful, of food, and then you'll hear God's truth." I must have showed my hunger in my face, for he signaled to one of the men in the doorway. A bit of cold he was brought, and a glimpse of berg PAGE THREE And I wolfed them down like a pig, or, rather, like Ned Alnaiti for I was keeping up my character. In the middle of my meal he spoke suddenly to me in German, but I turned on him a face as blank as a stone wall. I was steeled to carry the deception to a finish. Then I told him my story—how I had come off an Architect ship at Leath wedge up, and being my week overkill to my brother at Wigton. I had run short of cash—I hated vaguely at a spree and I was pretty well on my upgren when I had come on a hole in a hedge and, looking through, had seen a big motorcar lying in the barn.

SEABOARD AIR LINE Published Every Saturday by John Mitchell, Jr. 11 North Fourth Street, Richmond, Va. JOHN MITCHELL, JR... EDITOR All communications intended for publication should be sent so as to reach us by Wednesday. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Va. as second class matter. SATURDAY... JULY 15, 1910 Do not forget that this is a world of trouble. We shall win if we continue the struggle for right principles. If you live right, you will die the same way. Times are hard, but hundreds of colored folks find money to have a good time. The Progressives are in line with the Republican Party now, and its nominees. Betting in New York is new and to be two to one in favor of Hos Crowns Evans Houses Colored folks are making progress but when it is measured by the white man's standard, it looks disappointing some times. Be polite and obliging. There are some colored folks, who would have you the other way, but it will not pay in the long run. When a youngster likes only a good time and dodges work, it is well to place him in a vaudeville show house or send him to a good reformatory, even though he cannot be reformed. The New York Crisis certainly showed commendable enterprise in its vivid portrayal of the flendishness displayed in the lynching of the colored youth at Waco, Texas. It demonstrates conclusively that this degenerate was a product of the community in which he was found and executed. It is a blot upon American civilization. The agitation about infantile paralysis has afforded the excuse for the health departments of the country and in the several states, to make an insistent demand for more money. This is not for the purpose of curing the disease, for it is admitted that the medical fraternity does not know how to cure it, but it is in order to discuss it and to devise a means to lessen the danger of the epidemic. To the ordinary mind, the proposition is as absurd as it is ridiculous. If the disease is incurable from a medical standpoint, how can the appropriation of one hundred thousand dolars make it any more curable? Experts have been laboring to effect a cure for a generation and have failed. The American people certainly "like to be humbugged," and no better method seems to be devised than to make a great agitation over a threatened epidemic and then reap a golden harvest as a result of the imaginary condition. THE GERMAN SUBMARINE. The entrance of the German harbour submarine into Chesapeake Bay early last Sunday morning by way of the Virginia docks, and her subsequent docking at Baltimore, Md., with a cargo of dyes and medicines, have revolutionized modern shipping and created something of a sensation throughout the entire world. The name of the vessel is significant, Deutschland (Germany) and shows that this truly remarkable people are determined to find a way to again communicate directly with the outside world. In the light of this achievement, we the blockade of Germany by the ab- lies will soon become a joke. This four- vessel is 315 feet long and can carry doo- a cargo of more than a thousand tons for the value of the one that it is now hei- unloading is said to be one million it h dollars, and as the vessel cost only supply half a million, it will pay for itself in one round trip voyage and leave a of the profit for its owners. It is practically like impossible to capture it, hurring acclo- dents, for upon the appearance of an enemy, it simply falls under the water some one or two hundred feet and porcels on its way at a slightly reduced speed. It is estimated that it can travel on the surface of the water at near) twenty miles per hour and under the water at from twelve to fifteen miles per hour. It has delicate instruments by which it can tell if a vessel is in the immediate vicinity, when it wants to come to the surface. It is announced that more vessels of this type are being built and as they can be used after the war is over, they will still be serviceable to the owners when peace again prevails. Great Britain is Mistress of the seas. By this is meant, she controls the trade lanes with her war vessels. She is aided by France, Italy, Japan and Russia. But they control on top of the water and not beneath the surface. Germany is now enjoying the control under the surface of the water and in the air. The super-submarines and super-Zeppelins tell a story of inventive genius that has astounded the world. Other nations do not seem to be able to cope with her, even though they have captured and examined some of these wonders of modern construction. There are secrets in connection with their construction that are not disclosed by even a critical examination of the parts. It is hoped that the great war will soon end, but at this time, it seems that the contending nations are locked in a death-struggle, the like of which has never been seen in the history of the world. When all nations were professing peace and lending their influence to the erection of a shrine at The Hague, it seems like the irony of fate that the deception should have been exposed and a slaughter of human beings launched that has staggered humanity and made a new, bloody record in the history of the world. --- MISS BURROUGHS AND HER CRITICS Blood are ye, when men shall retire you, and persecute you, and shall all manner of evil against you, disguise for My sake—MATI 5:11 We have read with much interest the statement of Miss NANNE H. Bumgarns in reply to certain critics relative to her position with reference to the Baptists and their troubles. She stated in her communication that she has been misrepresented and the following summary by her in plain and to the point. She says: I have never advised the women to meet anywhere. I favor the plan suggested that the Executive Boards consider the wisdom of allowing the women to meet apart until our brethren adjust the matters that have provoked this denominational war. This simple suggestion was made to offset any reason for forming another National organization of Baptist Women. Any practical person knows that this duplication of organizations is not only a waste, but will prove a most formidable impediment to denominational advancement. I hold that two National organizations of Baptist Women will be a living example of denominational weakness rather than of denominational strength. This attitude is as absolutely right as were the divine commandments handed down from Mt. Sinai. Viewed from any angle, they square with her announced intention to make an effort for peace. We cannot see, then, that there was any need for the caustic language, indicating the display of deep gloom in the article aforesaid. Miss Brunototis cannot attempt to put out fire without risking being searched. It should occasion no surprise on her part or bitter indignation on the part of her friends, when people of the type engaged in this discussion unjustly assail her. If the Baptist women of the country cannot see the wisdom of the preposition submitted by her, then they are on a par with many Baptist preachers, who are making the name "Negro Baptist" a byword and a reproach. The result of the whole affair will be to land Miss Bransonors and her army of supporters on one side or on the other. We risk the hope that President E. C. Morris will be diplomatic enough to remove all reasonable causes for a continuation of the division which has vexed and injured us. It may be that he can find a leader to whom he can hand his mantle, who could extend the olive branch of peace to the conservative members of the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated and by a labor of love and by the argument of justice convert to his way of thinking the large majority, who have been led into other paths and who have done all that they could to keep the fires of hate burning. But it was of Mrs Branoroma that we intended to speak. Her solicitude was evidently on account of the foundling, which has been left at her door—The National Training School for Women and Girls on Lincoln Heights in the District of Columbia. It has been largely dependents for its support on the combined financial assistance of the united Baptist women of the country. If these women, fool like, split the man, what will become of the child, which at best has been plaining for support? To our mind, this has been the wri- mary cause of the interest taken by that queenly woman, NANNIE H. BUNGOTOUS. But God will and a way. She has but, to trust in Him and continue the work. He has intrusted to her hands to do. Go among the churches regardless of their affiliations and ask for support. If they refuse you, when you depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your foot. Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorra in the day of judgment, than for that city." Miss Burroughs says that she is penniless, so to speak, that she has not accumulated a competency, yielding up her brilliant talents, her youthfulness and her attractiveness in behalf of the work. It has always been so. Colored people, as a rule, do not comprehend or understand the sacrifices the leaders of the race are making in behalf of the cause. Miss Burroughs displays too much feeling. It is natural for her so to do, but she must learn to be unnatural. We have been practicing it ourselves for more than fifteen years. Let her carry her head high and trust in God. Her enemies will yet be confounded. This world now is unduly sinful, but at certain periods of the world's history, it has always been so. Had we been consulted, we would have omitted much that appeared in Miss Burroughs' letter. It was all proper and should have been said, but we regret that she let her enemies know that some of their unjust shafts of bitterness had "struck home," so to speak. The late Dr. Booker T. WASHINGTON was a master diplomat in concealing his wounds and in keeping from the gaze of the public the drippings from a wounded heart. Miss Pitonouris will some day learn to do likewise. We sympathize with her, and we conclude our remarks by saying to her in the language of the Scriptures, "Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward." MAJOR MOTON'S DENIAL. The New York Age in its editorial of a few days ago speaking concerning the reported utterances of Major Moton, the recently installed head of Tuskegee Institute with reference to the treatment of Mrs. Moton on a Pullman car in Alabama had this to say: "Referring to certain statements attributed to Major R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, concerning the treatment accorded Mrs. Moton on a Pullman car in Alabama. The Age is in position to affirm most positively that the Associated Press dispatches have misquoted Major Moton in every particular. Telephone messages and letters from prominent white citizens, both of the South and North, have conveyed sympathy to Major Moton and assured him of their loyal support." We are highly gratified to know that Major Moton did not say what he was represented as having said in the telegraphic reports of this affair. Not a few of our people were inclined to believe the report to be true because, some men among us will compromise when under the stress of circumstances such as confronted Major Moton. We realize that it is not by any means an easy task for one who is in a position in public life who represents varied interests to avoid some measure of criticism for their expressed views on any matter which involves a discussion of the race problem. So many men of our race because of their desire to please the white people are constantly going "cap in hand" before them that whatever the fact may be our people do not find it hard to believe about anything the tsis said concerning one of our leaders, if anything that they are reported as saying which has a tinge of cowardice or compromise about it, they take it in as a sweet morsel and will always believe the version of the affair which is unfavorable to one of the race. In the case of Major Moton in spite of his known opinions touching every phase of the "Race Problem" not a few of our people believed the first report as to what he said relative of the case of his wife who was refused accommodation on a Pullman car. We believe in conservatism, but we do not believe in cowardice. We do believe in exercising common sense in all things. The man who goes through the world with a chip on his shoulder at all times is sure to find his match some time, if he keeps on going. The best thing to do is to be reasonably conservative and ready to consider every question from a reasonable and same point of view. When as a race we shall have grown a little broader and shall have acquired the knowledge of how to think a little more deeply we shall have no trouble when we are confronted with these conditions which reflect the force of American prejudice.—Jacksonville (Fla.) Sentinel. HDITOR CFIFFORD'S TRIBUTE. (Martinsburg W. Va., Pioneer Press.) "The recent arrest, in Richmond, Virginia, of Hon. John Mitchell, Jr., editor, banker and publicist, by a "smarty" policeman, was as unwarranted as it was unnecessary. The idea of this great man being a lawbreaker is repugnant to the minds of his friends, who are legion in every section of the country, and who number their possessions from millions to a few dollars. At the time Editor Mitchell was subjected to the temporary humiliation which he underwent at the hands of the Richmond mission of the law, he was only observing his proprativo as a newspaper man—telling news where a fatal automobile accident had occurred. trial over himself throughout the whole proceedings, and thereby proved pennable, in lieu of the hands of a man whose罪 is clearly observable than on a police force. The prompt release of Mr. Michell on his recognition by the police captain, in whose pretact the arrest occurred, and his subsequent speedy acquittal a few days thereafter in the famous Richmond Police Court, presided over by the Honorable Mr. Justice John J. Crutchfield, was a triumph over a temporary embarrassment of which any man might well feel proud, and was almost like unto the exercises attendant upon the entry of a king just crowned, and in his palace. On this memorable occasion, in the former Confederate Capital, millionaire and man in moderate circumstances, white as well as black, vied in doing honor and attaining to the true worth of this noble son of Virginia who has done a much for the good of humankind, as any man, anywhere, in the world. Joint Picnic, Tuesday, July 18. The union picnic of St. Philip's Church Sunday School and the Good Shepherd Church Sunday School to Stop No. 12, on the Petersburg Electric Line next Tuesday, July 18, at 10 o'clock A.

Music and swings will be in evidence for the amusement of the children. ```markdown ``` 11 11 SYSTEMATIZE your household expenses by opening a bank account for your wife.

Mr. James Friferson passed through Columbia recently for Charleston, S. C." PRINCIPAL MOTION AND THE PULLMAN CAR INCIDENT Baltimore, Md., Commonwealth.) The Commonwealth up to this time has had nothing to say concerning the incident of the reported rejoinder of Principal Moton. Our colored editors have been playing him unmercifully for his apologetic utterances. Mr. Moton has neither denied nor affirmed the apologetic utterance charged up to him. In all seriousness, however, what else could be expected than an apology. If Moton is the selection of the white trustees it goes without saying that they would select a man who has the apologetic temperament. They invariably select such to lead the race. These they call safe and sane leaders. The men who have convictions. But lack the courage to announce and support them, men who blow hot and cold, who make big speeches at the big gate, but are mum when in the presence of their lords and masters. White-men never indorse a leadership that is courageous and bold. They prefer the opposite. They prefer the trimmers, the apologists and the mushrooms who prefer official positions and places on big committees, than an open, manly and dignified attitude in defiance of race and manhood. The man who takes such a position is denounced as a radical and an insurrectionist. We are suffering today in church and in state from this kind of "hand-picked leaders" as the Bee puts it. White men mark out the course for them, and they follow obediently. With them the ends, justify the means. In no organisation in which white men and black men co-operate is the independent and courageous Negro leader wanted. He is regarded with suspicion and every effort is made to weaken his influence with his own people, who in many instances are blind to their own interest. They are ready to sacrifice principle for policy, for most and brand, for fifty years. The many men fear the "big spider." Mr. Moton is not by any means the official spokesman of the race, because he has been selected as the institution of Tolerance. SPECIAL SUMMER PRICE REDUCTIONS ON THESE SUPERB CHINA CABINETS.
